The usual underlying cause of usage of Environment or EnvironmentFile in 
type units is more or less always due to the fact that the 
daemon/service cannot read configuration file on startup thus the answer 
is you would use a daemon that was written in a such manner it could 
read configuration file, generate that file and get rid of the extra 
administrator step of having administrators create and use drop-in's or 
am I missing something?
